Like if you're gonna procedurally generate a world outta blocks then give me a way to dig it up and build stuff out of it.

You can probably build houses. You can almost definitely build weapons and armor. Houses are big, functional chunks (walls, roofs, doors). Weapons are customized by adding voxels to the base model.

But I think the focus is on running around questing. There are some twitpics that look promising; dungeons probably are no longer a series of square rooms mashed together. Still nothing on, say, the Mine of Moria I saw on the Minecrafts.

Monster Hunter Lite. Very lite. Instant turning, after all.

Am I the only one who still thinks there's waaaay too much sliding around? Like, I'm okay with knockbacks and such, but everything just slides all over the place!

I think, if I were making a game where you wander around a randomly generated fantasy world killing everything that lives there, I'd want to give my dude and the dues he's killing a greater sense of weight. Wollay seems to prefer greased balloons.

Like, even in a cartoon world, things can feel like they have substance. Without that substance, it's like you're just moving a camera, not playing a dude. So, I agree in that the game would be better if there was more friction between critters, their environment, and each other. I also thought the game would be better if combat stopped being "Flail wildly until you or they are dead," so here's hoping.

And no panic dive. How am I supposed to survive without that?

The sliding around looked tolerable, but what do I know? I hunt Barioths for fun.

Like I don't wanna build "a house" I just want a way to pick up those blocks that everything is made out of and then rearrange them so that they then make up other, new stuff in keeping with my aesthetic sensibilities and functional priorities.

Clearly, you need a switch axe and evasion +1.

( Also of note, man, there are people who play monster hunter here, for reals? Why did my livestream never get viewers? D: )

See, I take some issue with the "Minecraft" in the title. It's Zelda + Voxels, it has nothing to do with Minecraft other than the cube shapes and that falls under Voxel.

Having it compared to something it just absolutly isn't devalues the work cause it is being held up to something it was never meant to be.

[Fifthfiend]

If I reset to baseline, minecraft-free expectations, it looks like a fun, moderately interesting little game, yeah.

(that would totally be improved by a building/mining system)

[Marc v4.0]

Yeah, even some minor resource gathering and usage system for blocks would be nifty
